"Three hours," Davan said.

Enough to matter. Not enough to be comfortable about.

Lucien was already calculating. She could see it in the way he held the phone, the quality of stillness that preceded a sequence of decisions. "We can be at the ridge in four if we push the route. Davan, take the second car and coordinate with the security detail. I want eyes on the outer network markers before we arrive."

"The buffered spaces," Kaela said. "If the faction crosses into one without knowing what it i

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   Volume 3, Chapter 143  — The Ash of the Scourge

    The crackle of the brass conductor node dropped a full octave, shifting from a sharp hiss into a wet, low hum that sounded like a blade tearing through velvet.Adrian Wolfe’s head fell back against the stone base of the dais, and a thin string of dark blood slipped past his locked teeth. The blinding purple glare that had been tracing the veins of his forearms began to thin out, turning a smoky, toxic crimson as the validation grid hit his maximum biometric ceiling. His inner wolf was not just silent; the biological radar in Kaela’s hybrid blood could feel the exact second the core of his beast fractured and its primal light went completely flat under the siphon.“He is bottoming out, Lucien!" Kaela shouted, her voice carrying that sharp, clinical precision even as a violent wave of sympathetic fatigue wrenched her own ribs through the Convergence Bond. She leaned across the desk as her silver-veined skin threw a cold light across the maps. "The perimeter lines have locked into their

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   Volume 3, Chapter 142  — The Reaction Radius

    As Adrian Wolfe’s hands clamped tight around the central brass conductor node, the sound that broke from his throat was not a roar. It was a choked, wet shriek of pure biological agony.The moment his hands locked around the iron routing bars, the activation circuit closed. The heavy stone floorboards beneath the Sovereign Dais flared with a blinding, toxic purple luminescence that arced straight up his arms, tracing the thick veins of his forearms in jagged lines of cold fire. The system did not just access his power. It systematically executed a massive siphon on his lineage.Adrian’s golden-brown eyes violently dilated to total blackness. His broad chest started heaving in frantic, shallow cycles as his Alpha wolf whined in terror, its life-force being pulled clean out of Adrian’s marrow to feed the hungry validation grid."Adrian! Get off the bar!" Alpha Magnus Wolfe boomed from the lower step, his voice cracking as his ancestral pride finally dissolved into raw panic. He was not

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   What Just Happened?!

    Oh my goodness, Adrian! What did you just do?! Talk about the ultimate weight of regret. The very man who publicly rejected Kaela on the grounds of being "powerless" just threw himself on a node that could literally empty his inner wolf out, all in a desperate, chaotic bid to save his pack and pull her out of the web. I am so incredibly excited to be sharing this Volume 3 arc with you all. Your support means the absolute world to me, and I love seeing you unlock these chapters every day! I will never tire of telling all of you how much you mean to me. Now that Adrian is literally burning his own life force on the dais, I have to ask you as my co-pilots in this story: do you think this is the start of a true redemption arc for Adrian, or is it just another desperate attempt to reclaim what he stupidly threw away? And how do you think Lucien is going to react to his sacrifice? Drop your predictions below, even if you're usually a silent reader. I reply to everyone. I would love to

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   Volume 3, Chapter 141 — The Static Perimeter

    The wall of silver-blue fire outside the Grand Hall did not burn with heat; it roared with the sound of a million tearing wires.Kaela stood rigid at the ledger table, her fingers digging deep into the translucent frost casing that sealed the five sheets of vellum. The permanent silver-blue veins on her forearms were no longer merely pulsing under her skin. They were glowing with a blinding, jagged brilliance that mirrored the wall of fire outside. Every time the energy wall arced against the stone perimeter of the stronghold, a sharp, physical jolt shot straight through her skull, making her knees shake beneath her coat."The connection is locking," Kaela rasped, her voice a thin, dry whisper that cut through the heavy silence of the chamber. She spat a dark glob of crimson blood onto the flagstones, her eyes fixed on the light grid projected onto the timber ceiling. “Lucien, the three pillars from the sky have completely merged. The system has accepted the purple lines. The entire E

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   Volume 3, Chapter 140 — The Rewritten Maps

    The mechanical thrumming of the lower district turbines did not stop, but the sound changed. It dropped from a steady, deep hum into a broken, erratic rattle that sent a physical vibration straight up through the stone legs of the ledger table.Kaela slammed her hands flat on to the translucent frost casing that protected the five pages of the text. Her silver-blue luminescence was pulsing at a terrifying pace as the cold current in her veins fought the dark, oily condensation that was beginning to puddle across the marble flagstones. The biological radar in her hybrid blood convulsed, and a wave of pure distortion shot through her that blinded her senses."The coordinates are moving," Kaela rasped, her chin wet with a fresh, hot trail of dark blood. She forced her eyes up to the three-dimensional light grid projected on to the acoustic timber of the ceiling. “Lucien, the three pillars of light from the white eye are not trying to dissolve the silver net beneath the riverbeds. They ar

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   Volume 3, Chapter 139 — The Gravity of the Alignment

    The sovereign’s dual-toned resonance was still echoing throughout the chamber when the layer of solid, blue-white ice snapped around the grey entity’s calcified ankles with a sound like iron tearing.The creature’s hollow eyes flickered, and the flat, pale grey light inside them dimmed by a fraction as Kaela’s supernatural cold fought its parasitic pull before it could drain the King’s core. But it did not let go of Lucien’s forearm. Its elongated bone-talons dug deeper into the torn velvet of his sleeve as the volatile, dark clay scent of its presence spiked through the room until the air tasted like ash.Kaela felt the Convergence Bond tighten between her ribs like a physical wire being wrenched by a lever. A wave of bone-deep fatigue threatened to crash her system, and the permanent silver-blue veins on her forearms throbbing violently as the stronghold’s water-turbines shrieked below."Lucien, his frequency is overriding the platform!" Kaela shouted, her voice carrying the clear,

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   What She Carries

    What She CarriesThe car smelled like pine resin and something older. Darker. She couldn't name it.Lucien drove fast but not recklessly, which told her he'd done this before — not this exact situation, but something adjacent. Someone at the wheel in the dark with bad options on all sides. He handl

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   What You Are

    What You AreThey ran.Not blind. Lucien moved with direction, taking angles through the dark that suggested he'd already mapped this forest, already chosen a route before tonight. That should have been reassuring. Instead it made the back of Kaela's neck prickle, because a man who had pre-planned

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   The Letter

    She took the envelope.Later, she would not be able to fully explain why. Survival instinct, maybe. Or the simpler, more humiliating truth: her mother's handwriting had always been able to make her do things logic could not.The wax seal was dark red. Unmarked. She turned the envelope over once and

  • You Will Regret Rejecting Me   The Man in the Dark

    She didn't run.That was the first thing Kaela decided, standing at the tree line with her palm still cold and a stranger watching her from the dark. Running was what prey did. She was not, regardless of what this evening had proven, prey."You've been watching me," she said. Not a question."Yes."
